You have to use the LaunchFileAsync method of Launcher class. Example:

// Access the file.
StorageFile pdfFile = await Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync("file.pdf");   
Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync("file.pdf");
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(pdfFile);
